We had the money from an insurance claim and we’ve spent a lot of it on buying new games. The money was to replace the GameBoy and games we lost in Singapore. I was tempted to buy HalfLife 2 or Neverwinter Nights 2, but decided that I have other games aready which I have not completed. I decided to have a look at the games I have on the PC and see which I’ve completed.

I was able to play all these games as I worked for companies which allowed game playing at lunch time. So for over 10 years I’ve been able to play Doom, Quake etc. for 30-45 minutes every day. I’m not able to do it now so, my game playing has just about stopped.
Must of the games the kids bought are on the PlayStation2. This has the advantage that the computer is not tied up when they play games. There are some online sites they like to visit though. I saw Krisitain playing Sonic the Hedgehog on the PC and it was online at a free site. Cool.
